Leaf Collection Hotline

Public Works has set up a Leaf Collection Hotline at 301-891-7626. Residents may call the Leaf Collection Hotline and leave a voice message to notify Public Works when leaves have been raked out to the curb. Public Works expects to collect the leaves within two weeks.

Important guidelines to be followed for leaf collection

• Place leaves into a pile close to the edge of the curb.
• Avoid piling leaves where cars are likely to be parked.
• Do not rake leaves into the street. Leaf piles create traffic hazards.
• Do not include branches, brush, vines, rocks, or debris. These items damage equipment and delay collection.
• Do not pile leaves near storm drain inlets. Leaves can block the drains and cause flooding problems.
• Do not park your car in front of a leaf pile. Restricting access to leaf piles delays collection.
